From the Back Cover

Supercharge your study time and jump-start your grades with this interactive tutorial from Schaum's the best study-for-test tool to use with your computer. Not just notes on-screen, this powerful study aid gives you real answers to your study needs and more study and test prep tools for your money. By harnessing the power of Mathcad today's leading technical calculation software it will help you master mechanical vibrations and learn from live calculations. In only a short time, you'll achieve greater comprehension and improved grades by using the Schaum's Electronic Tutor. Inside, you get approximately 100 solved problems along with summaries of key theoretical points, hyperlinked cross-referencing, and more. And with cutting-edge Mathcad technology, every number, formula, and graph is completely interactive. You can change variables in equations and watch as Mathcad's powerful engine recalculates the solution flawlessly every time! Based on the one-of-a-kind book on engineering mechanics from Schaum's popular Outline Series, your Electronic Tutor covers it all, with sections on vectors; operations with forces; coplanar and noncoplanar force systems; trusses and cables; forces in beams; friction; first moments and centroids; kinematics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies; moments of inertia; work and energy. Other subjects covered include current applications, such as the dynamics of orbiting, satellites, computer solutions, the inertia force method, products of inertia of masses, and multiple modes of friction.
